Description:
------------
I want to use mssql extension but I'm not able to make PHP use my php.ini file that contains declaration.

5.1.4 is manually installed on Windows with IIS 5.1. 







Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

  echo "INI = " . get_cfg_var("cfg_file_path") . "<br>"; 

  echo "Prepend = " . ini_get("auto_prepend_file") . "<br>";

  phpinfo();


  
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Instead of expected:

  INI = c:\app\php\
  Prepent = c:\app\php\marker.txt

Actual result:
--------------
Returns:

  INI = 
  Prepend = 
  <the info tables> reporting ini path as "c:\windows" (I put there one with 'auto_prepend_file marker' but it's not picked up), extension_dir as "c:\php5", consequently no extensions discovered....

I tried to set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/PHP/IniFilePath in registry, but it's also ignored (based on missing the header mark and phpinfo() output). Still empty result. It's after IIS restart (from IIS console).

OK it looks like PHP is written in restart whole OS style. After restarting OS php.ini from C:\windows was picked. I do not undertand why (there is one in php dir and one pointed by Windows registry key) but at least I know where to put my php.ini. In spite of fact I hate it, I can use system global.

Now I can get to point, Mantisbt.org.

My partial conclusion. 

If phpinfo() states as used php.ini "c:\windows" it in fact does NOT use any php.ini. 

When is uses php.ini from C:\windows it is reported as "c:\windows\php.ini"


It would be nice if phpinfo() returned what locations were probed for the php.ini.

Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/PHP/IniFilePath works if it points to folder (vs file as suggested by the name :-(). Again restart.

The remaining issue (for me) is what is SAPI default location and web server location in case of IIS.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Put your php.ini to c:\windows and restart web-server.
